April and May Mums

They said it would go away but they will keep an eye on it. It's fluid build-up from before he was born so nothing too terrible to worry about.

THat's good Renee

yes that is good news Renee, so hopefully it all just goes away like Jacks did.
What is it with our babies and their lack of poos? Not that it is a problem with Jeremy now (major poo explosion here today and I mean major!). It seems so strange that so many of our babies have been constipated lately, I really hope Kaleb sorts his bottom out soon Kathryn. Fingers crossed that he sleeps for you tonight

Alls great here, another fantastic night, Jeremy was down from 10.30 until 6.45!
I was looking back through our posts yesterday and its a great diary. Goodness we were putting up with hardly any sleep girls, well done us....heres a big pat on everyones back.

Aww Kathryn, you poor thing. I hated Sam's heel prick. She screamed like a banshee for the whole time!
Yay - Tweedles We love ours.

Well we had Plunket come yesterday and Sam is 5.52kg or 12lb 3oz. I wish they would measure her though because I don't think mine is accurate. I did ask but the lady didn't have a tape measure. She was nice enough though. She wrote in the book that I was such a good mummy, and commented on Sam's head control. She said we are good to go in a jolly jumper now if we want too - oops, does that mean I have to go shopping

Speaking of shopping. I fell into the Pumpkin Patch sale on Wednesday and spent $225 and then another $45 at JK. Oops   Hubby was ok with it though because everything I bought was for the next few sizes. Even managed to get a few things in size 1 for next winter. I can't believe she is ever going to be that big though.
A little embarrassed to say I actually doubled up on an outfit. But am going to take it back and get it in the next size up.

Am going to the warehouse today to buy her the leapfrog for Xmas while it is on sale Have permission from DH, will spend money while I do

Oh dear, I just looked at the tweedle site again. Bad idea as it so makes me want to spend, I am also so tempted to come up to Auckland purely to go get bobux. This not spending thing is going to be hard. I think that I will have to get into my sewing for Caleb very intently when we get home from holiday so I dont try buy more stuff.

On the plus side I only have to get a few little things for Caleb for christmas now and will get his Birthday present in October at the P&C show, provided it is on special again.

Sterryn I love Sam's flame nappy, it is so cute on her. I went into PP on Saturday after Botany meet up and was very restrained, I only bought a pair of the red velour overalls I had been coverting and they were discounted too . But then I went and got a couple more bibs from TnT and a little jacket (he needed it as didnt seem to have and jackets) and pjs from Farmers on sale. I am going to try and not spend for the next 10 days now so I have money to go on holiday with.

Yay that most of your nappies have arrived Kathryn. That is a fair number, are they a mixture of sizes or all the same?

Sounds like the Karicare gold is working a bit better on your boys, Renee and Kathryn. Here's hoping they stay un-bunged ( is that even a word) Here is hoping it works for your little girl too Julz.

Last night was a bit of a long one as we were up every 3 hours, I wish that 6 hour sleep would come back. Although he did managed to have a 3 hour nap and a 1 1/2 hour nap yesterday so day sleeps are a bit better. he is sleeping at the moment so might try get some more myself.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

We had some more action this morning but still not as much as he needs to get back to normal . Went to the doc again today just to recheck and he looks fine, blood and urine came back fine too so we'll just have to wait its course!

Julie - yeah quite a number - a mixture of small, medium and OSFA pockets and some medium AIOs. Whats bobux?
I just went to PP and spent some more money (i was in there on Friday and spent $53 on slippers, a tracksuit and lined jeans) - $99 to be exact BUT I got a hat, some jeans, a couple of bodysuits and some t-shirts (DH made me get some of them in next size and size 1).

I must take some photos of Kaleb is his printed nappies - he's got a blue flame Tweedle and looks so cute in it - check photo page soon (well actually tomorrow at earliest since its in the wash!)

Jo where are you waiting on nappies from? What brand?

wah hoo Gwen, my goodness, you are mad tee hee, massive congratulations coming your way hon, brilliant news.
Don't worry, won't be twins again, but could be triplets

Wow, how did that happen, Gwen?! No, really, I think I have forgotten how...hahaha. Congratulations!!!

Hehe, my other nappies arrived just after I posted before! I was waiting on some BumGenius - is that what you'd been waiting for too, Faraway?
They're all in the washing machine now, so we should be in cloth fulltime from tomorrow. I've managed to make my extra inserts too, so really only need to wait for the pockets to dry.
Now just got to finish making my cloth wipes! Got a few done already, but not quite there yet.

And I'm also looking forward to the next time I have to change his nappy while we are out because I haven't had a chance to use the cute wetbag I made!

Oh my Gwen. Congratulations though and here is hoping for a good next 8 months for you. You really are going to have your hands full, I hope it is just one for your sanity. Where are some more pics of your gorgeous little girls. I don't think we have seen any for a while.

I would love to see a pic of the blue flame nappy Kathryn. At the moment I am tossing up between the blue and the orange flames. Sooo cant decide.

Bobux are leather shoes that are meant to stay on babies feet and not be very easy for them to get off. Here is their website

YAY for the fulltime cloth finally Jo.

It is really windy here tonight and my little monkey wont go to sleep. So much for my early night.
